agsteele Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I've long thought that the reason many forum postings appear in the wrong place is because the Spamcop Help forum name is near the top of the list and is very generic. I realise that the description makes clear the use of this particular forum but now that extra Help forums have appeared (great stuff ) I'd suggest that the Spamcop Help forum be renamed to Spamcop Reporting Help or somesuch to clarify the precise purpose of that group.

Wazoo Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Hey! You took that from the work developed in the Topic at http://forum.spamcop.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=1672 <g> I'm still thinking that a lot of those off-Topic posts came from folks that followed a link from the FAQ that placed them directly within a Forum .. thus they didn't know that there were other Forum subject categories. I believe this came from the newsgroup mind-set where one has to subscribe to each specific newsgroup. I almost re-sorted the existing categories, then remember that I still had gripes out about those FAQ links ... and a chat with JeffG a bit ago pointed out that some folks have bookmarked their "favorite" Forum section ... so at present, the top three categories have to remain in place, hoping that there aren't that many people that bookmarked the "Lounge" or "Test" Forum as their choice of entry ...?? Bottom line .. I'm taking things pretty slow at this point <g> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wherever the idea came from it must have been good. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
